Essays in Classical Number Theory
Offering a comprehensive introduction to number theory, this is the ideal book both for those who want to learn the subject seriously and independently, or for those already working in number theory who want to deepen their expertise. Readers will be treated to a rich experience, developing the key theoretical ideas while explicitly solving arithmetic problems, with the historical background of analytic and algebraic number theory woven throughout. Topics include methods of solving binomial congruences, a clear account of the quantum factorization of integers, and methods of explicitly representing integers by quadratic forms over integers. In the later parts of the book, the author provides a thorough approach towards composition and genera of quadratic forms, as well as the essentials for detecting bounded gaps between prime numbers that occur infinitely often.
Number Systems
Number Systems: A Path into Rigorous Mathematics aims to introduce number systems to an undergraduate audience in a way that emphasises the importance of rigour, and with a focus on providing detailed but accessible explanations of theorems and their proofs.The book continually seeks to build upon students' intuitive ideas of how numbers and arithmetic work, and to guide them towards the means to embed this natural understanding into a more structured framework of understanding. The author's motivation for writing this book is that most previous texts, which have complete coverage of the subject, have not provided the level of explanation needed for first-year students. On the other hand, those that do give good explanations tend to focus broadly on Foundations or Analysis and provide incomplete coverage of Number Systems.Features- Approachable for first year undergraduates, but still of interest to more advanced students and postgraduates- Does not merely present definitions, theorems and proofs, but also motivates them in terms of intuitive knowledge and discusses methods of proof- Draws attention to connections with other areas of mathematics- Plenty of exercises for students, both straightforward problems and more in-depth investigations- Introduces many concepts that are required in more advanced topics in mathematicsNew to the second edition- Complete solutions to all exercises, and hints for the in-depth investigations- Extensive changes to chapters 4 and 5, including defining integral domains as distinct from commutative rings, a more complete discussion of irreducibles, primes and unique factorisation, and more topics in elementary number theory- A completely revised chapter 8, giving a more coherent account of quadratic rings and their unique (or non-unique) factorisation properties- A thorough correction of typos and errors across all chapters- Updates to the bibliography

Math Mammoth Discovery Word Problems
Math Mammoth Discovery Word Problems is intended for students in 4th grade and above that need more practice with word problems. I especially aim to help students in grades 4-7 who have trouble with word problems and who may need to "go almost back to the beginning," so to speak, to learn to solve them.The skills covered include addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, large numbers, divisibility, units of measurement, bar models in problem solving, average, geometry, fractions, and decimals. The problems require knowledge of fourth grade math, such as long division, long multiplication, knowledge of basic measurement units, and the usage of several operations. However, there are only a few worksheets dedicated to fractions and decimals, and the problems in general do not require calculations with fractions or decimals, with the exception of money amounts.The book presents a variety of situations - many of them about animals and farming - so that students will have some fun as they look for and discover the solutions. Mathy the Mammoth, with his obsession with blueberries, is featured several times, and students will also go hiking and traveling around the world. There are also some challenging word problems (marked as such) and interesting puzzle corners.Some worksheets have examples and some instruction related to problem solving. Students are often encouraged to write down the calculations they do. I suggest that you also encourage your student(s) to make a drawing or a sketch of the situation in the problem (if applicable), to help them understand the situation and to see what math operation is involved.Overall, the problems in this collection require multiple steps, with the exception of question #1 in worksheet "Division Warm-Up", as it focuses on differentiating what math operation should be used.

Jacobsthal Sums
The focus of this monograph is on the Jacobsthal sums of the title. These are quadratic character sums with polynomial arguments of a certain simple form. In addition to studying Jacobsthal sums on their own, the monograph explores their role in several topics of number-theoretical interest. A prominent theme is their use in counting solutions to equations over prime fields. Another aim is to construct representations of primes as sums of squares using Jacobsthal sums. Finally, Jacobsthal sums are applied to evaluate other quadratic character sums with polynomial arguments.This text is self-contained, with minimal technical prerequisites. We have strived for an engaging exposition, incorporating numerous examples and applications, carefully selected exercises, and historical notes and perspectives. Complete solutions to all exercises are provided.This monograph should be of interest to researchers studying character sums or counting solutions to equations over finite fields, as well as to graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in these topics.
